Suspect in Charlie Kirk shooting likely to face charges Tuesday before first court hearing
September 15, 2025
Prosecutors are looking at filing a capital murder charge against the Utah man jailed in the killing of prominent conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Charges against 22-year-old Tyler Robinson are expected to come Tuesday ahead of his first court hearing after he was arrested in last week’s shooting. Investigators are continuing to piece together evidence from the attack at Utah Valley University, where Kirk was speaking on a nationwide campus tour. Prosecutors in Utah County are considering several charges, including aggravated murder. That charge could bring the death penalty if Robinson is convicted. Robinson will appear on camera for a virtual court hearing once the charges become official.
